Jake & Valerie: Outdoor Fall Wedding in Moscow, Idaho

When Kate Jennings Photography emailed me and asked to help her photograph a wedding, I jumped up and down for five minutes while trying to type an immediate YES!!!! in my reply. Her emphasis on natural light photography and creating authentic images from REAL moments is so in line with my style and what I want to achieve. Her career is definitely one I look up to and admire, as she juggles her 4 beautiful girls at home and photography business. As a person, she is bubbly and hilarious. Hanging out all day was such a blessing.

I got to return home to Moscow to photograph Jake & Val's wedding with her. There is nothing better than Moscow, Idaho in the fall and as I discovered, a fall wedding on the Palouse with a view of the rolling hills . The weather was perfect for Jake and Val's October wedding. I instantly felt connected to this lovely couple. There is truly something so romantic and touching when a couple has been together for years and years before tying the knot- knowing they've gone through years of ups & downs and chosen each other over and over again. I was nearly in tears myself during their first look at Jake's face alone when he saw his bride for the first time that day. Fist pumps, tears, and gasp after gasp.

Looking through this gallery makes me incredibly proud. I love the images from this day.
